I have added the missing stuff...themes, some applications...wallpapers...usability stuff...several missing libs. It is now more for my like. If somebody wants this as slim as Barry did it. You can build this with woof and start from the beginning as I did....This is just woof build with several improvements....nothing more...nothing less....okay new kernel also. And several new kernel modules and some new firmwares also. I do add more modules than Barry does....

There are FirstRUN problems with this as well. It will need Barry to address it or use of Shinobar's version.

3 Different Puppy Search Engineor use DogPile

Generally, finding a compatible version of gutenprint with the driver for a particular printer can be a PITA. For my old HP DeskJet 510 printer I use a ppd file instead._________________Classic Opera 12.16 browser SFS package for Precise, Slacko, Racy, Wary, Lucid, etc available here

I have to admit that I feel getting working cups-gutenprint-ghostscript as a struggle not as intetesting challenge.

I have now tested cups 1.3.11 with woof but something is missing. There are wrong permissions and localhost:631 does not launch web administration. They work when you have the precise pangolin packages preinstalled, but....something is missing.

So....I am going to take another approach. What I do have. I have several woof platforms with working cups-gutenprint-ghostscript. From Lucid Puppy and Debian Squeeze packages. So....why dont I use woof as working cups factory.

I launched ./createpackages > cups with dpup woof and processed the packages and then created a pet from debian squeeze cups packages after processing in the packages-squeeze folder. Then I installed that cups-1.4.4.pet and voila...cups started to print...test page and real page.

I am going to give a go to this woof - cups - gutenprint - ghostscript - way next.

Ubuntu splits the printing stuff to tens of small packages. There is definitively something amiss in pkgs specs file. Hunting them down package to packgage is one possibility but not yet. Lets test woof cups factory.

As it starts fast and finds all main settings of my PC about himself I would be interesting to use it completely without save file!

Why: old puppy's under 1.1 did work so:

each day a fresh puppy. no change, no spy, no disturb

I would remaster it once after I will have adapted my settings, create a /root/,mozilla/seamonkey with different absolute non critic and not sensible entries, a link in /root to /mnt/home/f/my instead of /root/my-documents and would never save somewhat after that in /root as I can do it directly hitting on the link my-documents so

- I don't need some save file any more at all,
- have a system never changing in all details in the puppy file system
- have a system with highest confidentiality as no entry would stay in it after each shutdown, only the data I have entered intentionally manually before I did remaster!

To do it, I need a version without greeting at the begin of the session and without asking if I will save before shutting down!

What would be to do to avoid to start the greeting immediately after start and avoid the question if you want save before reboot or shutting down?

If you can, please try one of those puppies. To use the boot-disk option in the remasterer, simply remove the /tmp/root and /tmp/etc directories and copy the entire /root and /etc directories into the /tmp version of those directories, each at the point where you can modify those /tmp directories. Once you have tried that function, please report your experience and suggestions in that thread. Thanks for requesting the feature. It encourages me toward making it an official option for all puppies.

Thanks rerwin of declaration and thanks Peebee of broadcom wl driver for troublesome broadcom chips. I will definitively include it to the next version...when I have got some working solution with cups.
